THE MISSION
Dozens of journalists are imprisoned across the world for attempting to report the facts.
Buy a bracelet and the proceeds will go to the Committee to Protect Journalists to help free the imprisoned and those in harm's way.
Wearing a bracelet is a daily reminder not to forget them and to celebrate their courage.
If a journalist somewhere still wears a cuff, so will we.

Two-Time Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post reporter, Dana Priest began teaching a class about imprisoned journalists at the Philip Merrill College of Journalism, University of Maryland in the fall semester 2014.
Some of her students felt they wanted to do more, and Press Uncuffed was born. This is the story of wrongly imprisoned journalists around the world. We are calling on governments to release them at http://pressuncuffed.org/
